pm saturday night here in moscow you're watching r.t. thanks for choosing us tonight it's kevin owen with the top stories and first more than two million people a year die from aids that's why this weekend experts and scientists from around the world are meeting to try to find a way to save more people mainly through prevention but there's also a group calling into question the accepted wisdom of where this deadly disease actually comes from and they're angry no one's listening. for a pause. eighteenth international aids conference will begin hay in vienna bringing together around twenty five thousand policymakers scientists community work is activists and people living with hiv to discuss the latest developments in the spills but right now there's a t day conference going on looking at a ton of definitions and treatments of hiv and aids when the aids epidemic first hit the headlines in the one nine hundred eighty s.

it caused widespread panic for a singer he was one of the first diagnoses when you it was a terrifying experience the same experience turned sixty. the trust for information was just because. your. chatroom. so rich or even the first thought was to. be. considered first. cigar since the discovery of aids three decades ago it's estimated a twenty five million people have died from the disease with eva sixty million people infected in that time according to the united nations u.s. scientists identified hiv as the cause and developed a successful test to detect its presence but this has itself been a subject to scientific disagreement some believe there are different causes of aids not just hiv and cause doubt in the standard aids test which is based on

detecting the presence of the hiv virus whilst you might think there are only a small number of scientists who doubt they hate hiv aids they're a pair the conference is a list of around two thousand five hundred names all the scientists who challenge the classic definition some to have different diseases to treatment author and his doctor tentative therapies to conventional aids fighting drugs so strong is his belief in these other treatment methods that he's written to. twenty three years positive based on his experiences. somber deserve an explanation. for a roof over cliff with. true. story true so front so for us this dissenting from the conventional view that hiv causes a city can face eighteen hostility from the scientific theory is not occurring with the mainstream hiv theory of aids has even been compared to holocaust denial

include a crime against humanity a science that is alive has to have the permission to question a certain model of thinking serious thinking you know you don't bring in here a dying patient so that we have to act immediately and give him something we're discussing here we're scientists and medical doctors why should we not be able to discuss i'm very astonished their reaction is sometimes so aggressive so the official aids two thousand and ten conference will be one of the most widely watched aids events in the world every day some of the topics the likely to be discussed will be access to treatment as well as new technologies and hate hiv and injection drug now organizers have titled the conference right here right now which they say emphasizes the central importance of protecting and promoting human rights as a prerequisite to successful response to the problem. how to serve so where

the truth lies the plane crash told the presidents of many of the countries of the two surrounded by conspiracy for. your remains in the tight grip of a heat wave right now and in moscow the temperatures already broken several records this summer on saturday some parts of the capital have been sizzling at thirty eight degrees celsius but it's all to use terser soon reports now from the mosque avoids the burning sun just another reason for. i think he was. right because. it.

was. was was. was was was was. was was. you know another side of the heat wave on the way i look at how european fire fighters are lying on russian helicopters. to. make. more of that in a bit first a tough immigration law in arizona is being criticized across the united states for allowing racial profiling. the police to stop people who are

just suspected of being. critics able lead to the targeting of ethnic groups supporters claim the. place. of americans and people around the world. it's a bank breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these workers arrived in the united states illegally some from as far as central america and many are oblivious to the political firestorm centered around you know what's happened here for leave and you're going to leave any time i mean all of this is about lawful citizens versus illegal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty foot fence you know there's

a living million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a foreign based workforce that's making sure that. make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans have to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors. the average american could step in their shoes even for a day. to hire a. white person is too hard. i haven't seen any american

here working here in the fields said you'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberries he feels and now in an effort to employ out of work americans and obviously to prove a point the united farm workers union is embodying american citizens to take the jobs of these farm workers wouldn't be surprised if after a day or two they find themselves appreciating those who are taking the jobs we stop by the unemployment office to find out if people who are out of work would be willing to take the job of an immigrant farm worker a farmer came a. job as a farmer. and now. if i had a job that got me out there got me some exercise but no heavy lifting was at least eleven dollars an hour i would take it but i doubt that it's usually a lot of heavy lifting it doesn't pay too much there farmers and they're willing to

pay slave labor of course they have. conservative radio host tony katz is among the growing number of supporters for an immigration crackdown he thinks a threat to the u.s. isn't just financial this is about people who may be coming with diseases we've already eradicated bringing them back into the united states america has paid a significant price because of illegal immigration eric spence is the founder of we support arizona dot com he thinks americans will take the job of farm worker because an american will do what it takes to feed their family according to the united farm workers so far only three people have taken up there are for to take immigrant jobs in los angeles. r t. conservative author john romano and human rights activist reverend graham cross swords on this very issue in our washington studio discussing if the new strict immigration law is justified. the whole argument is around the issue of scarcity when you've got all of these

folks on employ all of a sudden you've got to look for a scapegoat for the reason why folks are employed but that's not the reason why folks ought employ the reason folks on employed is because of the way the economic system was structured wasn't regulated fell apart now the issue that you need to understand is that there's always been this country because of the capitalist system the race to try to produce more or less that has always been the case so what happens is that you ended up basically outsourcing it's not that folks took jobs we gave away jobs we gave away jobs right there on the mexican border when we passed nafta and we passed katha all the free trade agreements it was so that people of corporations based in the united states could escape all the kinds of regulations and all the kinds of labor laws that existed in the united states it's the illegals themselves who cause trouble as well as the businesses i mean business is not innocent here business is cost and the american taxpayer billions of dollars through skirting labor laws openly say reverend reverend how do you respond at all

i mean i want on a car going just to semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented get a collateral but it's a theological point if you don't understand theological points of views and i guess that's why it's because i don't have a reverend if you haven't already what you're talking about in terms of their anti immigrant for is a new word for racism and what you're really talking about are keeping people in the shadows so that people can continue to be manipulated by corporate entities and you never look at the kinds of international policies but the united states has created another place that creates a false immigration to the united states in the first place and the reverend can say that all he wants but the it's the word illegal it doesn't count if you're breaking the law you know there is such a thing as illegal immigration the left is doing everything they can to change the fight from illegal immigrant to immigrant the law that has been passed that has been passed in the soon to be implemented in arizona really opens the door to racial profiling because if you believe almost. side of the tracks one of the

things you know about always so well the police can stop anybody without a reasonable cause well there's always reasonable cause when it comes to people of color to get stop you driving to shining a car that's reasonable cause you look like you're in the wrong neighborhood but reasonable that's always the issue this is just a new new new form of racism i just want to ask the reverend question should there be any border law or should anyone be allowed to come here at any time for any reason and stay as long as they want the united states i just cannot get some clarity on that from you know sir well the issue is i mean yes of course you want to have some regulation to the border but it needs to be home it needs to be jazz it needs to really deal with where you're going as a country and it also needs to take into account the kind of policies that you have put in place and other countries that creates or forced economic immigration we're asking you to get involved in the debate yourself if you'd like to on our for about r t dot com we're asking there whether you believe in the grinstead taking american jobs these are some of your thoughts. thanks to casey of right minister immigrants

work hard and give up which makes them the one the sushi the future where are the native americans now six thanks to k.c. for that europeans came and took over bender thinks it's not a bad thing that if the greens come to the us writing before an immigrant generated took over of my block i used to rubbish every time and when i know it's clean annual torah says there should be no borders anyway it just takes hours to fly anywhere in the world why should it take days or weeks to get permission to travel panders says thousands of lost their jobs homes during the recession so jobs should be given to those who will never pay taxes there is no you think if your opinion form section r.t. dot com. it's now more than three months since the deadly plane crash in the small and screeching that killed the polish president lech kaczynski and one of the country's top political figures the russian investigation has been completed but nonetheless rumors and conspiracy theories remain that is despite the fact that

polish authorities of themselves declared themselves satisfied with the findings really good report. the sounds of this crash were heard around the world when the plane carrying polish president lech kaczynski came down and smolensk region killing on board russian poland united and. moscow showed it was willing to go out of their way to make sure investigation went openly and swiftly but some took the tragedy a lot more personally than others the progress of the investigation is to say the least minimal it is stalled polish investigators have received important documents and was happen for mushy it this situation causes suspicion however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation they didn't have to cut any corners because really the causes for this accident were very straightforward by which i mean that it's the kind of accident which has happened

many many times in the history of aviation it is the most common type of fatal accident in aviation history i think possibly. some polish people would have said look accident investigations take two years how are they so sure that they have got the answer after only a matter of months those who work the russian investigation teams say laying the blame on them is not there there was in essence a joint investigation under way which i think was very wise sides so i know that there have been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to their plight so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics would be playing their feet. are fond of believing that it was russian factor and that the second. major factor is that

there is a strong media gathering. on this issue and there is. a political fight between parties using this crash as it often goes it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people the chance to step up moscow and war stop loss of the navy been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to embellish party last. couple top world news stories b.p. says the massive cap put on its ruptured well in the gulf of mexico appears at the moment to be holding firm that cap has stopped the flow of oil into the sea for the first time since the disaster was caused by the explosion of the rig in april pressure testing is now being carried out and engineers are checking to see there are no further leakage is the all schools affected hundreds of miles of coastline and seriously damaged the region's economy. at least sixteen people have been

has welcomed their arrival we know that this is the best thirty quarter for fight fight the. devil you know fighting is very very important market. it's the start of the fight fight him she stood up we have this particular fire fighting helicopter the russian k. thirty two is capable of carrying up to five tons of water it takes just ten seconds for the crew to feel its huge container haiti's and just fifteen seconds to drop it onto a fire so it's rather quick which is extremely important but this isn't the only feature that makes this russian models turned out. to suit your rotors moving up the directions and no tail rotor makes the machine more stable period and more accurate. they stability and accuracy also going to safety for firemen both on the ground and in the air. as that even at the if you sent over

fire with flames reaching the helicopters kill she always feels safe i know some of the know now but it's made in russia but it works perfect hearing and it's easy to control easy to maneuver it's not afraid of strong winds when others can't even takeoff it continues to work it's an ideal helicopter to work in emergency situations as they say it's gone through fire and vice versa i didn't like it but now it's my favorite. pollitt say the case cities are always the last helicopter to leave in the sharia ten russian kafeel cities are already a feature in the skies over spain which to me do join the ranks of the country's army and as the spanish saw mine testifies that presence could be of critical importance. not t. really come to severe pain. no get ahead tonight transport terror next hour an hour t.v. special report looks into the hidden history of car bombings a very modern phenomenon.

gekko makes billions by insider trading but the character that told the world greed is good gets his comeuppance of the long arm of the whole finally gets his hands on the antihero and we presume strips him of his wealth and send him to prison here in russia the gordon gekko's of this world have much less to worry about until now after ten long years of talks it seems a low dedicated to stamping out insider trading is finally ready for presidential approval. and former head of the russian market regulator says this step is not only significant for the proper function of the stock market but also has implications for the whole economy is having a little though is not enough it also needs to be plight. believes the russian market regulator is currently too small to take on the tosk and the core system is too complicated but the chairman of am d.m.

since scrapes to school i just assume poor you can go for investors is the theory money is as safe as the next person's and that's the need to protection of steel i do question our moscow better than expected financial results from american companies provided much of the driving force for the markets this week and riggins head of research of forbes club explains the impact they had all russian share prices these news determine to main trends or the wall markets and most of the week markets today we saw a sort of short correction and we hope that this positive trend will be continuing during the next three and the season of corporate finance results is going to be hoped that the results of the second quarter of the american corporate sector we'll be better than the same results of the second quarter last year russia is suffering

from its worst drought in more than a decade in a state of emergency has been declared in sixteen agricultural regions some climate scientists believe the heat wave may be just the beginning of many years of hot dry weather. reports this could lead to a radical change in russian farming practices. central russia here over seventy percent of the green harvest has been destroyed by the drought but because russia normally produces a surplus and weather conditions have been more normal in savior the country would next period be green shortage these here however this might not always be the case if the summer heat waves become a more permanent fixture as some climatologists expect some usurper water poured fifty stories for the roasted holes the counting is published a study suggesting that from the late seventy's to two thousand eight. hundred nine russia is enjoying a warm and dry season as the last two years prove that it will last until two

thousand and twenty six two thousand and thirty. the hottest year in a cycle expected to come over the next five years this could be enough to change the face of russian agriculture as farmers are unable to survive on the poor yield from their land over a longer timescale a prolonged period of dry weather is likely to force farmers to change their crops turning russia from green producer indian culture the green bean and some crops. of cultivated land from green which currently stands at fifty percent drop down to twenty percent indeed this process is already happening in some regions. after last year's drought we gave up most of the dry land on the left banks of the river we continue to cultivate the right bank decreasing from one hundred twenty thousand to forty thousand hectares. today's blistering temperatures might become the norm in a few years' time if some climate change scientists to are to be believed new

weather conditions will in evitable force change in agriculture with some crops becoming non-viable in a previously for tell areas with its vast plains to the south of the country may no longer be the breadbasket of russia instead it might become but he will be ins or even worse. in a diminutive business r.t. that's all we have for this edition of business r.t. but you can always find most stories on our website r.t. dot com slash best.
